COMPUTER-AIDED ANALYSIS AND DESIGN------PHI
This book is extremely useful to engineering students who wish to increase their efficiency in the usage of computers as a problems solving tool. The text shows how to equip oneself with fundamental techniques of a good user-interface development, such as planning for screen management, usage of peripheral devices like mouse or pen plotter, simple and effective graphics tricks and a few basics of file management. Simulation, Expert Systems, Analytical Tools and DBMS are introduced and discussed with adequate conceptual and software examples.
· Practical tips for screen management to develop a friendly user-interface.· Interfacing techniques of peripheral devices such as, Mouse, Printer, CRT, Plotter, etc.· Subroutines for mouse and plotter interfaces through serial ports and graphics techniques, like moving a cursor without erasing the background, rubber-band technique, etc.· A complete chapter on simulation, a powerful problem solving tool for engineers.· Simple engineering examples on Expert Systems and AI.· A complete case study of a full-length CAAD problem involving real-time data acquisition, simulation, data-processing, storing and presentation of results through screen, printer and plotter.· Example programs in C, Pascal and Basic.
